Stranger in a Strange Land: Using Heterotopic Transplantations to Study Nature vs Nurture in Brain Development

The mammalian brain develops from a simple sheet of neuroepithelial cells into an incredibly complex structure containing billions of neurons with trillions of synapses. Understanding how intrinsic genetic programs interact with environmental cues to generate neuronal diversity and proper connectivi...
